Penniless
The official announcement was concise and clear. Furthermore, it was at the top of the trending topics.
In order to cooperate with the Specialized Forces’ operation of cleaning up the internet, we’re now
banning a group of ghostwriters who leave malicious comments online and disrupt the order of the
internet.
Below the text was two pictures.
One of them was the comments posted by those ghostwriters. All of the comments were undoubtedly
defaming Arielle.
Another picture was the IDs of those ghostwriters.
Not only did the officials ban the account, but they also banned the ID card connected to the account.
Those people could no longer register an account on Twitter and would disappear from the internet
forever.
The netizens, who later realized that they had been misled, were filled with indignation.
Meanwhile, some of Arielle’s fans started doubting Oliver, who hired ghostwriters back then.
Oliver’s face fell as he looked at all the DMs in his inbox.
Despite it being my idea this time, it’s Jacob who hired the ghostwriters. Why is everyone scolding me?
After the incident, he decided that since he had left Moore Group, he should not get involved in Arielle’s
affairs in the future. As long as she doesn’t get in my way, I’ll pretend that she’s already dead.
On the other hand, Jacob was not faring any better either.
Not only did he fail to slander Arielle, but he had to compensate for the losses of the ghostwriters’
company.
Previously, he bought Oliver’s company at a high price, and now he was penniless.
“Da*n it!”
Slamming the table, he called for his trusted aide, the manager at Moore Group, Wesley Zahn.
“Mr. Campbell, the netizens—”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore.” Jacob interrupted Wesley and asked, “How’re the arrangements
with the factories?”
Nodding, Wesley replied, “I’ve made all the necessary arrangements. None of the factories will
manufacture the bionic arms.”
“Good.” Jacob let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a little better.
Since we’ve made the arrangements with the factories, it’ll be a matter of time before Arielle has to step
down.
“After signing such a contract with us, why didn’t she stay in the country and look for ways to generate
profit for the company but went to such a Lightspring instead?” asked Wesley puzzledly.
“I’m not sure too. Our people can’t get into Maxwell University, so even if we send someone to
Lightspring, we won’t be able to collect any useful information.”
“Could it be that she went to Maxwell University for help?”
Shaking his head, Jacob commented, “I don’t think so. If she’s that smart, why didn’t she keep an eye
on the progress of the bionic arm production? She’s just a playful girl, which is an advantage for us.”
After giving it some thought, Wesley agreed with Jacob and said gratifyingly, “Then, I shall congratulate
you in advance on your acquisition of Moore Group.”
In an instant, Jacob burst into laughter, and his mood had improved vastly. The exasperation he felt
from the news online had gradually dissipated.
On the contrary, the incident online had a huge impact on Wendy.
As soon as she returned to the dorm, she received a call from the live streaming platform.
After hearing what the other party had to say, she was seething with anger.
“What? I’ve to return the money? Why should I? I worked for it!”
The staff from the platform seemed to have encountered plenty of similar situations and explained in a
calm manner, “Ms. Greene, the nature of work of a streamer is a bit different. If the user has a
reasonable reason to withdraw their donation, you must return the money to them. Otherwise, they
have the right to sue you.”
